Setup and the Interaction of a Short Laser Pulse with the Lattice of Titanium Atoms

Caption

This is an illustration of the setup and the interaction of a short laser pulse (red oscillating line) with the lattice of titanium atoms (centre, lower half of figure). The red and blue structures represent the redistribution of the electron density in the vicinity of a titanium atom. A close-up of this change in density is shown on the bottom right.
